difference between p5q pro and pro turbo?

There a quite a number of differences mainly in the audio , network and memory support. The best way to compare them would be to go to WWW.ASUS.COM once there go to Socket 775 and then choose the board and add it to the compare list. This will allow you to compare each aspect of board and see what differences are important to you.
 
I awensered this, by stating the best way to do this is just compare then directly at the ASUS site. Since this has not been done I will try and do it. Make sure when you go to the site you go to the global site. www.asus.com then make your choices under motherboards. Hope this helps.

oh ok. thanks juan jose, i did do what you stated originally, but you did not say to go to global and in error i assumed you wanted me to go to the north america united states one as I am in the US, and on the US site, the pro isnt listed. ill try the global one now, thanks for clarifying it for me
